Check this out......joint venture with Texas Instruments? May not be so far-fetched. from the RB boards: By: drs6u8 Reply To: None Tuesday, 22 Feb 2000 at 7:08 PM EST Post # of 2814 Texas Instruments + Fiberchem = next generation wireless technology!!!!!!! Texas Instrument(TXN) goes up 15 NEW YORK, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments Inc. , the world's largest supplier of semiconductor chips used in mobile phones, introduced two new chips designed to enable high-speed Internet access for homes and for use in the next generation of Web-based wireless gadgetry. The two digital signal processors (DSPs) the C64x and the C55x, are at the center of TI's efforts to maintain and increase its dominance of the DSP market, which is one of the fastest growing segments of the semiconductor industry. Fiberchem goes up 71% possibilities??? sensor-on-a Chip trademark (from FOCS 10KSB SEC file) During this refocusing process the Company also substantially enhanced the value of its development initiatives with Texas Instruments, Inc. ("TI") for its Sensor-on-a-Chip-Registered Trademark-. By working together with the Optoelectronic Group within TI's Semiconductor Group, then with its successor company, Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions, the Company has expanded the scope of the joint marketing activity in the chemical sensor marketplace. The short-term result from this process has been development work on a number of new products, including a gasoline vapor sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, a flammable gas sensor, a breath alcohol sensor and sensors for the detection of toxic gasses. The FOCS-Registered Trademark- technology has been further developed through a joint venture with TI to produce Sensor-on-a-Chip-Registered Trademark-, a new generation of semiconductor-based sensor products. The market for these chip-based sensors is represented by customers in the consumer, commercial, industrial, automotive and military fields. Often development costs are partially covered by a customer in exchange for some level of exclusivity. See "Business- Sensors" for a description of chip based sensor products. Lets see what happens tomorrow!!!
